error-page for ServletException not working?

[C F <ta...@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

I'm using Tomcat 4.1, PostgreSQL 7.3.2 (in Cygwin) and Struts 1.1 on Windows 2000.

I just decided to check out the declarative excpetion handling in the web.xml, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything for me.  What I did as a test, was start up the whole application as normal, then got to the point where I was ready to submit a form that executes an Action class that acesses the database (I'm using the Tomcat connection pooling with JNDI).  Just before submitting the form, I kill the database hoping that upon form submission, I get my error page that I specified in the web.xml.  Instead I just get a stack trace in my console and the web browser just waits indefinitely for a response.

 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

Here's the relevant portion of my web.xml.....

 <error-page>
   <exception-type>javax.servlet.ServletException</exception-type>
   <location>/common/system_error.html</location>
 </error-page>

 

Here's the stack trace from the console.....
